Crockett, Texas
Gayle Darsey, left, Stew Darsey, and Diane Probst, Chair - Chamber Executives

July 18, 2008 -The highest honor given by the Texas Chamber of Commerce has been awarded to Crockett native, E.S. "Stew" Darsey for his outstanding professional career in chamber management. "This is a great privilege," said Darsey, who is currently president of the Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Area Chamber of Commerce. He added that the Marvin Hurley Award, named after a Houston Chamber CEO in the 50's and 60's, is a "special tribute" because recipients are honored by their peers. The chairman of the selection committee, Phil Neighbors, said that with "Stew's devotion to our industry and his aggressive efforts on behalf of the profession, there is little doubt that he should be so honored." Darsey's 24 years experience with Texas chambers also includes the Crockett Chamber of Commerce and the Belton Chamber of Commerce. Read the full story here  

History 

Around 1820, the Mexican government was awarding land grants to pioneers. Also, those who fought in the war for Texas' independence were receiving land. Soon, settlers arrived in the area along the Neches and Trinity Rivers. They petitioned the Congress of the Republic of Texas in 1837, asking that a county be created. Some 110 names were signed to the petition, which was approved and signed by the new state's president, Sam Houston. This county was the first created under the new Republic of Texas and named for its first president. 

Crockett was selected as the county seat. The town was named for that famous Tennessee scout, Davy Crockett, who camped near the area en route to the Alamo and his death in 1836. While he was camped, he discovered the home site of his old Tennessee friends, the Gossetts. It was this family who donated the town site of Crockett, and they were given the privilege of naming the town and county. They chose the name of their old friend, Crockett, for the town, and the name of the president of the Republic of Texas, Houston, for their county. 

The Indians were very much in evidence in the county during this time. Several forts and a company of rangers were created to offer protection to the settlers.

The Neches and Trinity Rivers contributed much to the county's development. The rivers provided natural boundaries, and as ferries were established along both of them, routes of commerce were begun. The famous link between the rivers, which joined the east and the west, was El Camino Real and The King's Highway. The latter was the freeway of the 1800s, providing movement of pioneers, soldiers, supplies, mail, and the output of raw materials. Cotton, grown with slave labor until the Civil War, was the big crop of the latter 1800s. Following the Civil War, the county's economy changed more to lumbering, cattle, and the production of hay and grains. Today, the economy remains basically agricultural, lumbering, and ranching. 

Churches, schools, and the coming of the railroad in 1872 brought new community development. Up and down the tracks, every five to six miles, small communities were built.

About the Nacogdoches, Texas Area 

Nacogdoches, Texas SFA
Stephen F. Austin: Father of Texas

Nacogdoches - Rich In History 

Nacogdoches - the oldest town in Texas - is named for the Caddo family of Indians who once lived in the area. There is a legend that tells of an old Caddo chief who lived near the Sabine River and had twin sons. When the sons grew to manhood and were ready to become leaders of their own tribes, the father sent one brother three days eastward toward the rising sun. The other brother was sent three days toward the setting sun. 

The twin who settled three days toward the setting sun was Nacogdoches. The other brother, Natchitoches, settled three days to the east in Louisiana. The two brothers remained friendly and the road between the two communities was well traveled. This road became a trade route and the eastern end of the El Camino Real. 

Nacogdoches remained a Caddo Indian settlement until 1716 when Spain established a mission here, Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de los Nacogdoches. That was the first European activity in the area, but a mission was not a town - it was a church. The "town" of Nacogdoches got started after Spaniards decided that the French were no longer a threat and maintaining the mission was too costly. So, in 1772 they ordered all settlers in the area to move to San Antonio. Some were eager to escape the wilderness, but others had to be forced from their homes by soldiers. 

Antonio Gil Y'Barbo, a prominent Spanish trader, emerged as the leader of the settlers, and in the spring of 1779, he led a group back to Nacogdoches. Later that summer, Nacogdoches received designation from Mexico as a pueblo, or town, thereby making it the first "town" in Texas. Y'Barbo was named Lt. Governor of the new town and he established the rules and laws under which the city was governed. He laid out streets with the intersecting El Camino Real and El Calle del Norte as his central point. On the main thoroughfare he built a stone house for use in his trading business. The house, or Old Stone Fort as it's called today, became a gateway from the United States to the vast Texas frontier.  

But Nacogdoches' role in Texas history was just beginning. Over the next four decades, Nacogdoches and the Old Stone Fort became the site of three failed attempts to establish a Republic of Texas - the Magee-Gutierrez (1812), Long (1819) and Fredonia (1826) rebellions. Thus, nine flags have flown over Nacogdoches as opposed to the six that have flown over Texas. 

Today, Nacogdoches is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Texas. People come here to discover the town's historic past and to enjoy its slow-paced and relaxing atmosphere.

Real Estate Tips
Buying Land and New Construction >How Easements Affect Your Land

It is extremely important to discover whether there are easements on undeveloped land you are thinking about buying. An easement is the legal right to use another person's land for a specific, acknowledged purpose. Easements can significantly affect your development and use of the property.

A typical easement might permit the use of a dirt fire road that cuts through both the neighbor's property and your land. The road provides access to both properties, and your neighbor has to drive through yours to get to his. The house you build has to be situated ten to fifteen feet away from this access road. If the road cuts through the middle of the lot, you might have difficulty finding room for the house you want to build.

Consult with your real estate agent, an attorney or a title researcher for accurate information about the easements. When making an offer on undeveloped land with an easement issue, be sure to include a contingency that you must approve of any existing easements, or the offer is null and void.
